At least once a year, BATB takes a look at how the major governing bodies and their affiliates rank our boxers. Whether you buy into the rankings fully or not, this does give some idea of where the boxers of the area might be heading in 2014. We have the rankings from the big four (WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO) as well as three of the four regional rankings (USBA, NABO and NABF).

Gary you forgot Demarcus Corley
He is not ranked anywhere that I saw.
Gary, that was great! I am sure everyone appreciates this. I know it has made my day. Thanks for all you do. The DMV is very lucky to have you.
One of Adrien Broner's first fights in a ring was against a kid from his neighborhood named Rau'shee Warren. Broner was six, and Warren, who would go on to become a three-time U.S. Olympian, was two years older. Broner was fast (like he is now) and cocky (ditto) and figured he would handle Warren with ease. He didn't. Warren beat him up so bad, Broner left the gym in tears.
Here's why that matters: Before last Saturday night, that was the last time Broner's friends and family can remember him taking a beating.
In a one-sided whipping by Marcos Maidana, Broner received his first professional humbling. Knocked down twice, Broner was overwhelmed by an opponent that used pressure and blunt force to get inside Broner's shoulder roll defense and a relentlessness that lasted for all 12 rounds.
Prospect of the Year: Dusty Hernandez-Harrison had a busy 2013 with eight fights in total, wining all of them and even picking a minor youth title in November at Madison Square Garden. Dusty’s last 5 opponents had a combined record of 59-29 so he wasn’t matched with soft competition to pattern his record in his early career stages

This shows how ridiculous the ratings are by some of the organizations. Would anybody bet on Jeter if he fought Fernando Guerrero? Yet, Jeter is rated higher.
I apologize Gary your right he's 32 in America on boxrec 77 in the world...not sure what the major bodies have I dodnt see anything.
Why don't you have the NABA or NABF rankings?
The NABF site seemed to be down and the NABA ranking did not come up completely.
The NABF seems to be up, so I will add them now.
The fact that Tony Jeter is ranked 13 by the WBC is the biggest joke. He has lost to 3 bums, twice getting stopped. His only win against a decent opponent was Jimmy Lange in a fight he should have been disqualified for numerous low blows. He isn't ranked by any of the other three world sanctioning bodies and I personally saw him get his ass whooped in his own gym in a sparring session by a dude with only 30 amateur fights and 0 pro fights and he was 154, a weight class below tony.
He is ranked 148 by Boxrec which is a much more accurate ranking of tony.
Toney Jeter comes to fight and is always in shape.
